YES. I couldn't believe it. I was expecting the box to be identical to the
boxes I remembered seeing in Toys R Us 10 years ago. But nope. They've got
clouds on the back. It reminded me of the way Apple packages it's computer
components (Box with Keyboard, box with Mouse, etc...).
I agree with what other people have posted on .trains, that I'm a little
dissapointed all the stuff is just sort of "shoved" in the box. The track,
motor, and wagon plates are just banging around, along with the INSTRUCTION
MANUAL AND DECALS!!! I'm lucky in that none of the stickers peeled up, but
both the manuals have rips and bodgy edges now.
I'm going to wait until my parents are back from Cedar Point so I can
surprise my dad and see if he'd like to build it with me. He doesn't know I
bought it!
Tonight, project Coin Box for rtl9...

The Metroliner does have the errors that people have been talking about. The small windows have (...) (23 years ago, 12-Oct-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
